Ryan Gosling Tells the Story of His Horrifying Turkish Massage

Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe walk the carpet at the Italian premiere of The Nice Guys on Friday (May 20) at the Space Cinema Moderno in Rome, Italy.

The guys appeared on The Graham Norton Show this week and Ryan recounted the horrifying story of a Turkish massage he once received.

“I had a horrible experience having a Turkish massage, where this guy’s idea of a massage was to like take one leg and the other arm and try to connect it behind my back,” Ryan said.

“His belly went into my mouth,” he added. “You know when you get something weird in your mouth and if you’re eating something, your brain sends your tongue to figure out what it is? It’s not a conscious thought. It’s just like, is that a bone? Figure that out! The tongue goes in to figure it out. My tongue was like, ‘What is that? It’s a hairy belly!’”
